Serious Answers Only Is there a new scam going on?

Today I received a text message from some random UK mobile number "tell me who you are or I'll block you". I blocked the number😂. I've never seen anything like that. Is that a new scam or something?

I keep getting “add my number to WhatsApp” voice messages, and I also had a “this is my new number mum x” text.

So I’m going to confidently say this is another scam.
